The Bright Side of Evil Story Arc Number 5
Ah, thieves.

In the Thieves’ Guild…
Announcer: Make way for the King of thieves!
A group of thieves are assembled before the King.
William Joyce, King of Thieves: Alright, who’s the wiseguy who stole my crown?
Julius Blackthorn, Fence extraordinaire: Sorry sir, couldn’t help it.
The crowning moment of the strip takes place.
King William: Much better.
Joseph: Um, lord, this always seems to happen.
King William: Ah, Joseph! I haven’t seen you in a while!
Later…
King William: So, any luck with these adventurers?
Joseph: …
King William: Crown distracting you?
Joseph: Yes.
I can’t make up a bad pun for every action. King William takes his crown off.
Joseph: Only any luck with the swordsman.
King William:Oh, well. Learn from your mistakes. You’re still one of the best thieves.
All thieves in the building: HEY!
King William: What’d you manage to steal from him?
Joseph: 4 swords, 3 knives, a shield, and the knife I’m using.
Joseph: Sometimes I wonder how they carry so much.
King William: I just don’t think about it.
Even Later…
The sign reads: “Blackthorn’s stolen goods shop”
Blackthorn: Have you been stealing from swordsmen?
Joseph: Yeah, how’d you know?
Blackthorn: A-Only swordsmen usen that stuff, and B-only an idiot wouldn’t notice all that was gone.
Brigadier-General McDemon: DIE MORTAL!

Jack’s (only) sword breaks.
Jack: Uh, now where’d I put those other weapons… Uh, oh.
Jack gets a sword through the head, and Martin kills the demon with ice.
Necromancer: Should’ve named him Kenny.
Jack: Ow.
Brigadier-General McDemon: Me too.
Joseph: Eh, he’s a swordsman, he’ll be fine in the end.
Blackthorn: I’ll buy his stuff for 150 gold, 3 silver, and a copper.
Much later…
Jack: You know, I’ve been thinking.
Necromancer and Martin: There’s a surprise.
Jack: We should really have a quest.
???: MUAHAHAHA! I shall take over the world, destroy the elven woods and other such vaguely evil deeds like taking candy from babies!
Elsa: Convenient.
Jack: Hey! Where’d my lollipop go?!
???: MUAHAHAHA! People with the intellect of a baby too!
Jack: WAAAAAAA!
Necromancer: Ah, Rolf, an ametuer as always.
???: I-i-it’s not me! What are you talking about? Who is this guy anyway?!
Rolf: Fine. You’ve got me. What are you going to do about it?
Martin: I know what I’m doing.
Martin fires ill-drawn lightning at Rolf.
Rolf: Ha! A lightning shield surrounds me!
Martin: Blast! And what is this D&D? Nerd.
Rolf: Lackeys! Attack!
Goblins are in a tunnel below their feet.funny
